FBI DirectorKash Patelsaid the bureau has usedartificial intelligenceto help stop multiple attacks, includingschool shootings, as part of a broader push to modernize federal law enforcement under theTrump administration.
Speaking onSean Hannity’spodcast,Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Patel broke down how the FBI is taking proactive measures to fight crime in the United States.
“AI was never used at the FBI till we got there, literally crazy,” Patel said. “I’m using it everywhere.”
Patel pointed to specific cases where AI tools helped agents quickly process large volumes of information and act on threats.
“We stopped a school massacre in North Carolina because we got a tip and we were able to triage it with artificial intelligence,” he said.
He added that a separate school shooting in New York was also prevented after a tip from private-sector partners was analyzed using AI systems.
“We stopped a school shooting in New York because we got a tip from our private-sector partners who are building out AI infrastructure,” Patel said.
The FBI receives thousands of tips each week, making it difficult for human analysts alone to keep pace.
“If we had just humans look at it, we would never sift through them all,” Patel said. “I put AI in there,” he added, referring to the bureau’s National Threat Operations Center.
Patel also described how AI is being integrated into other systems, including the Criminal Justice Information Services database, allowing agents to “pop fingerprints immediately and get fugitives and arrest warrants out.”
